Phoenix, AZ, November 4, 2026 —

A winning Powerball ticket worth an estimated $847 million was sold in New Jersey for Wednesday night’s drawing. The single ticket matched all six numbers, marking a significant jackpot win for a resident of the Garden State.

The lottery officials confirmed that the ticket, sold in New Jersey, holds the winning combination for the massive prize. The exact jackpot amount is an estimate, and the final payout may vary based on ticket sales and the annuity option chosen by the winner.

The winning numbers drawn on Wednesday night were not immediately available, but the validation process confirmed that one ticket sold within New Jersey matched all of them. This makes it the sole winner of the latest Powerball grand prize.

Winning the Powerball jackpot is a rare event. The odds of matching all five white balls and the red Powerball are approximately 1 in 292.2 million. This winning ticket now represents one of the largest lottery jackpots in Powerball history.

Lottery officials have not yet released details about where in New Jersey the winning ticket was purchased, nor have they identified the ticket holder. The winner will have the option to receive the prize as a lump sum payment, which would be a reduced amount, or as an annuity paid out over 30 years. Further details regarding the claim process will be provided by the New Jersey Lottery.

This substantial jackpot is expected to generate significant interest from players nationwide for future drawings as the prize pool resets. The New Jersey Lottery is advising the winner to sign the back of their ticket and consult with financial and legal advisors before coming forward to claim the prize.
